Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[bermudakid]

My crappy backup laptop can't handle pCars, but when the new computer comes on Friday I'm definitely going to check this out!

You are going to be very dissappointed when you go looking on WMD for a membership.

 

[ACGreen86]

blargh I already did. T_T
Oh well. I'll just have to wait like everyone else.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Suspension movement still feels lacking in comparison to A.C wonder when will we start seeing the physics improving.

Im entirely speechless by that responce .

The textures & detail in those last pics look stunning
That's a pretty nifty looking Kart also.

I'm not taking a knock at you or anything =P. Rockstar (known for pushing consoles to their technical limits at the absolute max) has publically stated that the Devs that claim the PS3 has no processing power or whatever are completely full of themselves and that it's not the case at all. 👍

GTA IV with inhancer or what ever they call it on the PC looks massively better than the GTA IV we know on consoles .

don't know why this always comes up GT5 can't look like PCARS because of the console limitations.

Rockstar have a talented team but they can't magicly improve the software capabilites of the PS3

 

[Sharky.]

Compared to the PC it has no processing power, case and point pCARS PC vs the sample PS3 screenshots

I've been following this thread for a while, and I have a question: Why haven't the licensed version of the Audi R18 & A5 DTM been implemented, especially since there are a bunch of licensed car now?

Simplez: A license for Audi has been agreed on yet / not been signed yet.
When they have it I'm sure Andy or Suzy will tell us. (I bet if you buy Andy a drink an he'll let something slip.)

Maybe Audi wants a lot of money and SMS are waiting to grab up some smaller $$$ licenses first. OR Audi could have a 50 story office building full of nothing but lawyers and pencil pushers and it just takes that long to get it done.

Probably the latter.

Bingo. I know how gargantuanly sluggish the 4 ring behemoth has become from first hand because my uncle used to work there at Ingolstadt until he retired last year. Lets just say I didnt expect the Audi license to come fastly... I m getting terribly anxious myself now too, though. And I really, really hope they also got the R8 LMS and the RS3 or RS5 as well.

PS @ speed157: Dope avatar! 👍

Fixed. 👍

What I'm getting at is that yes it's not a PC but they can do more than what is being put out at the moment.

Not necessarily true, different developers are trying to do different things with the console, they're all limited by what it can do, even Rockstar. It just so happens that what they're doing with it they can make more out of it in certain areas, most likely the RAM issue because it's an open world game that doesn't need to load everything at once. A racing game is completely different, uses RAM in a different way and has other priorities with the RAM.

Does GTA V's vehicles look anything close to Project CARS or even GT5? No, because they're using the resources elsewhere. GT5 is pushing the hardware to the limit with that specific game design, that's pretty clear, and so will Project CARS. Rockstar are not some magical developers who can get more out of a console than anyone else, even first party devs. They're simply using the power in a different way.

Is the road wet ? the car seems to not want to go in a straight line at all.

 

[Samus]

The SETA tyre model is not optimized for that car at all yet.

 

[NRWoodsy]

Just love this game.. A simple shot that looks great.

 

[gogatrs]

I'll be honest, some of these screenshots, if I didn't know they were a game, I'd think they were real. Hopefully I can say the same thing about the physics.

 

[isamu]

I'll be honest, some of these screenshots, if I didn't know they were a game, I'd think they were real. Hopefully I can say the same thing about the actual in-game graphics when playing pcars.

Even if those tires aren't optimized, I want to see the Yellowbird drive like that whenever they start on it. This video made the car seem alive.

These are all in game screenshots, pc obviously. Not SMS released screenshots.

Nope dude, what gogatrs said is correct. Physics isn't less important than graphics.

This squared. Why have beautiful graphics if the car doesn't behave like its real world counterpart does?

 

[FLX1981]

Yeah, I hate it too if the ingame Huayra acts nothing like the real one in my garage.

 

[dice1998]

You know what I mean.

 

[taz]

We know what you mean, but it stills seems as though some people don't realize that the SMS team isn't developing pCars for EA. The guys at SMS started this because they didn't want a developer to ruin the sim, they want to make the best one out there.

 

[Adrianf1]

No, the track was dry. Perhaps it seems because the Atom is a very nervous car.

I leave you a graphics comparison video between GT5 and pCARS with Ford GT40 Mk IV in Spa-Francorchamps:

[Slash]

GT5's road is more detailed but PCar's grass looks better.

 

[spinner]

Is there something with the grip level at that circuit also ? I've ran the Formula B there and its understeer city. Not a lot of grip in the X4 either.
